Natus Vincere (NAVI) has entered the Marvel Rivals scene with a strong debut roster. The esports club signed the former Rad EU squad from Rad Esports, who had just won the Marvel Rivals Ignite Mid-Season Finals last August. 

The team is set to compete under the NAVI banner in the coming Ignite Stage 2 EMEA. The lineup features seven skilled players:

• Nikolai ‘Naga�?Dereli
• Maxwell ‘fate�?Currie
• Rasmus ‘Raajaro�?Rosvall
• Mark ‘Lv1Crook�?Leveleki
• Oliver ‘TrqstMe�?Pöhler
• Majd ‘Crysis�?Gerges
• Jurica ‘Jur3ky�?Risek

Together, they proved their strength by lifting the trophy in Guangzhou, China. NAVI now aims to repeat that success under their banner.

Adam ‘Meliø�?Jensen, who was a part of the roster, did not join NAVI and has signed with Citadel Gaming. His exit, though, still left the rest of the group intact as they prepared to make their mark on the next stage of play.

Justinas ‘jL�?Lekavičius has stepped down from the Ukrainian powerhouse, NAVI’s Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) roster, to take a personal break from competition. The decision was made mutually between the player and the team.

jL said he had been feeling unhappy for a while and believes he needed time away to focus on his mental health, family, and growth. In a vlog he posted, he shared, ‘I knew I was not happy playing any more…purely of my own thoughts.�?/p>

The 25-year-old joined NAVI in 2023 and has played a key role in the team’s recent runs, including global events. While he didn’t give a set return date, jL mentioned the break could last three to six months.

Upon leaving the main roster, NAVI Junior star Drin ‘makazze�?Shaqiri takes his spot. In an X post by NAVI, they’ve shown full support of jL’s choice, wishing him to find his inner balance and recharge.
